About Gearbox Protocol
Gearbox is a generalized leverage protocol. It has two sides to it: passive lenders who earn low-risk APY by lending single-assets; and active farmers, firms, or even other protocols who borrow those assets to trade or farm with even x10 leverage.
Gearbox Protocol allows anyone to take DeFi-native leverage and then use it across various (DeFi & more) protocols. This enables you to compose your position as you want. You take leverage with Gearbox and then use it on other protocols you already love: Uniswap, Curve, Convex, Lido, etc. For example, you can leverage trade on Uniswap, leverage farm on Yearn, make delta-neutral strategies, hedge your exposure, get Leverage-as-a-Service for your structured product, and more.

Francium
Seeking the best yields across protocols should be simple - Francium provides Strategy Development Tools for our users to build yield strategies with ease. Earn variable, low-risk returns on your assets by depositing into our lending vaults. These assets are available to yield farmers for leveraging their positions. You can borrow assets from our lending pools, allowing you to leverage up to 3X. Borrowing interest is subtracted from your total return. As expected, higher yields and leverage increase volatility and potential risks, including liquidation, impermanent loss, etc. Monitors the pool for underwater leveraged farming positions (when equity collateral becomes too low, thus approaching the risk of default) and liquidates them.

TrueFi
Meet TrueFi, the DeFi protocol for uncollateralized lending. Earn high yields on stablecoin loans and borrow capital without collateral. We’re proud to introduce TrueFi, a protocol for uncollateralized lending, and TRU, the native token used for staking and voting on loan requests. The goal of TrueFi is to bring uncollateralized lending to DeFi. This helps cryptocurrency lenders enjoy attractive, sustainable rates of return, while giving cryptocurrency borrowers predictable loan terms without requiring collateral. Importantly, all lending and borrowing activity on TrueFi is fully transparent, allowing lenders to fully understand participating borrowers and flows of funds engaging with TrueFi. Lenders (like you) add TrueUSD into a TrueFi pool to be used for lending, earning interest and farming TRU. Any unused capital is sent into the Curve protocol to maximize earnings. Borrowers (like OTC desks, exchanges, and other protocols) submit proposals to borrow capital from the pool.

Apricot
Apricot Lend provides standard lending and borrowing services: users deposit assets to earn interests, and use their deposited assets as collateral to borrow other assets. Apricot X-Farm provides cross-margin leveraged yield farming service for users to maximize yield from their existing holdings. Let's take USDT-USDC LP farming for example. In other leveraged yield farming protocols, users would need to own some amount of USDT and USDC before they can start farming the stablecoin pair. If they do not have USDT and USDC sitting in their wallet, they would have to swap other tokens into these stablecoins first. On Apricot X-Farm, users do not need to own any amount of USDT or USDC to start farming. Instead, they can collateralize their non-stablecoin assets to borrow the stablecoins with up to 3x leverage, and start farming USDT-USDC LP right away. These stablecoins will then be auto-pooled and staked for LP tokens, resulting in 3x farming yield.

Tulip
The dApp (decentralized application) is designed to take advantage of Solana's low cost, high efficiency blockchain; allowing the vault strategies to compound frequently. This benefits farmers with higher APYs, not requiring active management, and lower gas fees. We also integrated leveraged yield farming & lending pools into the platform, providing an investment with suitable risk rewards for any DeFi user. Tulip Protocol currently offers three types of yield products, “Vaults”, “Lending” & “Leveraged Farming”.
